In response to the
Covid-19 pandemic, Libyan authorities initiated public health measures in March
2020 aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19. These measures include travel and
mobility restrictions due to the closure of airports, points of entry (POE)
along land borders and maritime boundaries, as well as domestic movement
restrictions.

Points of entry along
land borders are closed for entry and exit of passengers; two land border
crossing points, Emsaed and Ras Ajdir remain open for commercial traffic.

All international
airports are closed for entry and exit.

Local authorities in
border cities such as Al Kufra and Al Jaghbub have implemented stricter
measures by implementing municipal entry restrictions into their cities.

Restrictions
implemented as public health measures against Covid-19 have the potential to
result in unintended negative consequences for populations on the move such as
migrants, refugees, and internally displaced persons (IDPs) who depend on the
ability to move for their safety, livelihoods, and overall wellbeing.
